Affirmations
In my opinion, affirmations are one of the most important parts of energy work. Affirmations help root out the underlying cause of stuck emotions. It also helps replace the low vibrational emotions with high vibrational emotions. Affirmations are a key part of the type of energy work that I do.
What is an affirmation?
Dictionary.com states that an affirmation is that action or process of affirming something or being affirmed and it is emotional support and encouragement. Who doesn’t want to be affirmed and have additional emotional support and encouragement?
One way that I use affirmations is when I am not feeling my best or doing something really hard or something that I really don’t want to do. A simple affirmation of, “I can do this!” goes a long way.
My son was paddle boarding and the breeze was a bit strong. He got stuck and couldn’t get back to where we were on the shore. When I started to get a worried about him, I started walking the shoreline to look for him. Soon enough I saw him paddling as hard as he could back towards us. When he saw me the first thing out of his mouth was,
“Affirmations really do work Mom!”
I asked him what he meant and he said,
“I got stuck on the shore and I couldn’t get back to you so I started telling myself I could to do it and that I was strong enough and that I was capable. After I told myself those affirmations, I was able to do it!”
At that moment my heart was brimming with happiness and I was so very glad that I taught him about affirmations. Affirming your ability to do something really does work!
Affirmations can really turn your day around. I challenge you that when you are feeling down try and find a positive affirmation you can use to turn the tide. They don’t have to be big or elaborate just a simple, I am beautiful, I am smart, I am capable, I am a good mom, my kids love me, I love my kids, I am a SuperMama! All these affirmations carry positive energy which in turn can help you turn your frown upside down.
